Mahjong is different, and even the numbers are different. What Li Hong can do is to make a pair of 144 mahjong cards according to what he can remember at the beginning.
There are one piece of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum in the south, east, west, middle, white, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and a total of 144 mahjong pieces in ten thousand, strips, and tubes.
Seeing that the four people were still looking blank and not knowing what he was going to do, Li Hong had no choice but to do it himself. While explaining mahjong, he ordered Huaji and other palace maids to set up the square table and chairs.
After asking the four people to sit down according to the directions of southeast, northwest, and others, they began to show Li Zhi, Wu Mei and others how to play mahjong.
By coincidence, Li Zhi was sitting opposite Princess Xincheng. Naturally, Wu Mei and Xiao Shufei sat across from each other. Although the two of them had relaxed over the years, it was the first time that they sat down at the same table as equals. , the atmosphere was still a little weird at the beginning.
Whether it is the maids or eunuchs serving beside them, they are as careful as possible, hoping to be as cautious as possible and not make mistakes.
But when the four of them, under Li Hong's explanation, each coded their cards, played the dice and began to draw cards, the atmosphere became a little more harmonious.
He rigidly followed Li Hong's words such as bang, kong, etc., and slowly started to speak softly, gradually reaching a normal volume, and then he would shout when he saw a good card that could be touched. .
After several mistakes in picking the cards and "cheating" the cards several times, the four of them had basically figured out the way to do it. They increasingly found that the so-called useless cards they didn't want in their hands were very difficult to find. It may be a good card that can be turned into treasure in the hands of others.
Therefore, according to the habit after two rounds, every time Li Zhi caught a useless card, he would shake his head and sigh, and then read it out softly in his mouth. In the end, no matter what card he caught, he would have an expressionless face.
Starting from the simplest Hu Faer, they soon learned the essentials of how to play mahjong. The most important thing is that everyone working here is a master who can win an Oscar for their acting skills.
For so many years, they have been able to survive intact in the intrigues and intrigues in the palace, which is enough to show that they have an extraordinary mentality and extraordinary courage that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
Listening to the cards, the step closest to the Hu cards, gradually changed from the initial excitement on the faces of the four people to calmness. Therefore, when the third round was about to end, the four people had gradually figured out some skills in playing cards. , and continue to become more sophisticated in the skill of observing words and emotions.
The expression on his face also changed from being disdainful of Li Hong's so-called mahjong to becoming cautious and nervous.
But no matter who is listening to the cards, if Li Hong doesn't look at other people's cards, he can't tell who is listening to the cards from his expression.
The most amazing thing, what makes Li Hong applaud is that after all four people have listened to the cards, it seems to Li Hong that none of the four have listened to the cards. And when none of the four have listened to the cards, Long Ma can act like It looks like the next card will be played.
So under tension, Father Long successfully fired the gun three times in a row, and had no choice but to push it down and wave his hands in frustration to say no more.
Li Hong was like a newly promoted eunuch, serving beside the four of them. Seeing the high-spirited looks of Princess Xincheng, Concubine Xiao Shu, and Mother Long. When all three eyes looked at him, someone's first reaction was to hurry up. run!
But before he could take a step, Long Ma's voice rang out with high spirits: "Your father is ill, why don't you take your father's place and play with us for a while."
"Isn't this... not appropriate? Firstly, there is no bet, and secondly, this is my invention, and you won't feel the glory if I win, so why not stop here today..."
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and sit down with your father! You asked us to bring so much money, don't you just want to win our money! What you are saying now seems to be very innocent." Xincheng was already shuffling the cards with Wu Mei and Xiao Shufei , urged in his mouth.
After Li Hong washed his hands and face, he took a short rest, moved another chair, and sat down next to his mother. Father Long was about to watch a play, so he had to go to the emperor's seat, facing south and facing north, and sat down. .
Wu Mei looked at Xincheng and Xiao Shufei, and the two of them told Li Hong yesterday about inviting them to the palace today. After hearing the interesting story about mahjong and being able to join the bet, their eyes were even brighter, like The two lanterns are the same.
"In this case, I won't be polite and will accept your money." Wu Mei said domineeringly, straightening her long and fair neck.
"Not necessarily. There was no bet just now and no one took it seriously. Now, there is a bet. It would be best for you, Queen, to prepare some money." Xincheng is also quite confident in his own skills.
Although Xiao Shufei didn't speak, her expression must have shown her attitude. She didn't necessarily bring the money here just to give it away. She might be able to bring more money back.
Seeing the three beauties not giving in and shouting at each other with high fighting spirit, someone couldn't be happy at all. Although he had some money with him, after careful observation just now, he came to an astonishing conclusion. The conclusion is that their skills are much better than theirs.
Although he said he invented it, no matter which life he was in, he had always had little interest in gambling and rarely participated in gambling such as mahjong.
Moreover, the three beauties plus one of his juniors reminded him of a famous drama that would be born in this land in later generations: Sanniang Godson.
Therefore, when Li Hong played the dice, his miserable fate was doomed for the past half day. Starting from his dragon mother Wu Mei, Li Hong began to send warmth and fire to each one.
Even at the end, the husband next to Wu Mei held a lot of banknotes in his hands and was counting them excitedly. When he looked up and saw Li Hong lighting up the cannon and Wu Mei wanted to kill him, Wu Mei was stopped by him. Mei refused domineeringly.
"Only by touching myself can I show my extraordinary skills." Wu Mei looked at the two players with frowning faces and one of them was crying.
"Boy, if you make me lose money to your mother again..." Xincheng gritted his teeth as he saw Li Hong's indecision.
"You have won a lot..."
"Why, we won a lot. There are less than two million taels left from five million taels. This is called winning!" Xincheng warned, glaring at Li Hong with sweat dripping from his nose.
More than three million taels of wasted money was won by the queen in less than half a day.
Concubine Xiao Shu's calm demeanor from the beginning also disappeared. She was arranging her cards from time to time, calculating how to listen to the cards as quickly as possible. Fortunately, she only lost a few of the original five million taels of silver. It was only one hundred thousand taels, but it was enough to make her feel distressed.
After all, she had no concept of money in these years and had no idea how to spend money. Now she finally spent money, and suddenly lost hundreds of thousands of taels and nearly one million taels. How could she still calm down
"Hong'er, before you play the cards carefully, look at what's being played here, and don't draw cold cards." Concubine Xiao Shu lowered her head to sort out the cards, and did not forget to tell Li Hong.
Someone was crying, wondering why he was either left or right: "That's what you told me in the last game, wasn't it still won by my mother?"
"Can you hurry up and play cards!" Li Zhi was unhappy. His hands almost cramped after counting the money, but there was no money for him to count.
Li Hong made up his mind, looked around at the 40,000 yuan in his hand, and finally threw it out with his eyes closed, but he still didn't hear his mother's voice calling Hu.
So my heart suddenly relaxed, but I didn't want to go through the next bumps and bumps, but the queen mother seized the opportunity to get another chance to draw cards, and then... Li Hong's dragon mother actually got confused!
Xincheng's and Xiao Shufei's eyes suddenly looked like knives, glaring like Li Hong: "If you hadn't touched that, would you have had such an opportunity!"
"Why do you insist on using it? Can't you not use it?" Concubine Xiao Shu felt distressed. According to the bet set at the beginning, she would need to pay the Queen nearly 700,000 taels of silver!
Wu Mei patted Li Hong's shoulder lovingly, and praised Li Hong for being so timely. Li Zhi stood up in a hurry to collect the cash, and nodded repeatedly: "You're lucky, you're lucky, this one is nearly three hundred." Wan got paid, well, where’s yours?”
The innocent Li Hong faced Xincheng and Xiao Shufei who were about to lose money. He spread his hands and picked up the IOUs one after another: "My son has long been out of money. How about I write you another IOU?"
Li Zhi quit, stared, put the banknotes in his hand on the table, and said anxiously: "How much do you owe now? Why do you have the nerve to owe it? Send someone back to the East Palace and ask Bai Chun to send you money. "
Wu Mei leaned back lightly on the chair, looked at her fingers relaxedly and proudly, and said lightly: "It's not much. With this time, it's probably more than five million, right?"
"It's almost the same this time." Li Hong shrugged his shoulders to Princess Xincheng and Concubine Xiao Shu again, and said helplessly: "Forget it, that's it for today."
"That won't work. I have to get my money back. This is too fast. More than three million taels of silver are just gone. It hurts more than cutting meat." Wu Mei said.
"Well, why don't you continue tomorrow and find Aunt Lanling and Aunt Chengyang. They have a lot of money. How about you win their money tomorrow?" Li Hong said to Princess Xincheng.
Li Zhi and Wu Mei, as well as Xiao Shufei and Xincheng, were all impressed by this destructive method.
Obviously, the queen's mahjong skills are superior, and it seems to be more difficult to win back today. But if you go back and think about it carefully today, it is indeed a good way to win some Lanling and Chengyang tomorrow.
Several people gave Li Hong a thumbs up in praise, and then motioned to Huaji and others to put the mahjong away. As for whether there are still mahjongs and whether there are better ones, this is the responsibility of Li Hong, a filial son. alive.
Wu Mei took the banknotes that Li Zhi had counted, and after counting them, she put them all into her sleeve pocket. As for the man next to her just now, who had been busy collecting money for him for a long time, he didn't get a single copper. arrive.
"Okay, your father and I have also discussed it. Before the first day of the month, you will bring those people to see. As for who to choose as the crown princess, we will talk about it after taking the school exam." Wu Mei stopped her. Li Zhi said to Li Hong as he took out the banknote from his sleeve pocket.
"Okay! Why did your little bastard recruit us into the palace today, and also prepared this mahjong game that made me lose money? It turned out to be to please your mother and marry you the crown princess, and use our money to please your mother?" Xincheng? After looking at Wu Mei and then at Li Hong, who was like a good baby, he suddenly understood that he had been tricked by Li Hong today.
